Supreme Court to weigh firing of Lisa Cook
Washington — The Supreme Court said Friday that it will decide whether Hawaii can bar people with concealed carry permits from bringing handguns on private property that is open to the public unless they receive permission from the property owner.
The high court said it will review a decision by a federal appeals court that upheld Hawaii's firearms restriction. In agreeing to take up the dispute, it adds gun rights to a term already loaded with hot-button issues including race-based redistricting, state laws targeting transgender athletes and campaign finance, as well as several cases involving President Trump.
The legal battle is the latest to arrive at the Supreme Court since it expanded gun rights in 2022 with a decision that set a new standard for evaluating the constitutionality of firearms restrictions.
